Today we're covering a big one! The Identity Center (also traditionally known as the G Center).

The Identity Center governs love, direction, and the sense of self. It represents our core identity and life purpose, guiding us towards environments and relationships that are most aligned with our true nature so as you can imagine it has a big impact.

We cover how to align with this center whether yours is defined or undefined sharing what it feels like when you're in that alignment and what red flags to look for that you might be out of alignment.

How do you feel about the word: Ego? With popular books titled with Ego is the Enemy it makes you think that there is something bad or wrong about the ego.

Human Design has a different approach to ego and in today’s episode we’ll share what that is. The Ego Center influences our willpower, motivation, self-worth, and self-esteem. In our words, our passion.

Sometimes called the ‘Heart Center’, it’s definitely not a bad thing to have this defined. Here are some highlights from the episode:

• How to find your Ego Center on your chart and whether it’s defined, undefined or open
• How to harness the power of your ego center as a business owner or self-employed practitioner
• What is means to have an Ego Authority and how that impacts your decision making

We hope you’ll enjoy this episode in our ongoing series on the Human Design centers!

❤️ BH & KW

We’re excited to share this episode because today we’re talking to our friend Jamie Clark who is also our first Manifestor on the show. Jamie, who has a background in improv and human design, shares with us how she utilizes these in her company to help people overcome their fear of public speaking through inner child work.

We also chat about how Manifestors and Projectors like being asked questions (and what’s different for the two types), a deep dive into the 6th line (profile 6) and how wisdom can be found in feeling angry.

Jamie also ends up giving Kyle a mini-session live on the show which we’ve left in unedited.
